Lik 2
1 Alò, li te rive nan jou sa yo ke yon dekrè te sòti nan César Auguste, ke yon resansman global ta vin fèt pou tout mond lan kote moun rete.
AND it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Cæsar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed.
2 Sa se te premye resansman global ki te fèt pandan Quirinius te gouvènè a Syrie.
(And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.)
3 Tout moun te kòmanse anrejistre pou resansman an, chak moun nan pwòp vil pa li.
And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.
4 Anplis, Joseph te monte kite Galilée nan vil Nazareth la, pou rive nan Juda, vil David, ke yo rele Bethléhem nan, akoz ke li te sòti nan kay ak fanmi a David,
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judæa, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David: )
5 pou l ta kapab anrejistre ansanm avèk Marie, ki te fiyanse li, e ki te ansent.
To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 Li te vin rive ke pandan yo te la, jou yo te vin rive pou l akouche.
And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 Li te bay nesans a premye fis li, epi li te vlope Li nan twal pou nouvo ne yo. Li te mete Li nan yon manjwa, akoz ke pa t gen plas pou Li nan otèl la.
And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 Nan menm andwa a, te gen bèje deyò nan chan an ki t ap okipe bann mouton yo pandan nwit lan.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 Konsa yon zanj Bondye te vin kanpe sibitman devan yo, epi glwa a Bondye te klere toutotou de yo; e yo te vin ranpli avèk laperèz.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 Men zanj yo te di yo: “Pa pè, paske gade, mwen pote bòn nouvèl a gwo lajwa ki va pou tout pèp la.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
11 Paske jodi a nan vil David la, te vin ne pou nou menm, yon Sovè, ki se Kris la, Senyè a.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
12 Epi sa va yon sign pou nou; nou va twouve yon anfan vlope nan twal, e kouche nan yon manjwa.”
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
13 Lapoula te parèt avèk zanj lan yon foul lame syèl la ki t ap fè lwanj Bondye, e ap di:
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
14 “Glwa a Bondye nan pi wo a, e sou latè a, lapè pami lèzòm ki fè L kontan yo.”
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
15 Li te rive ke lè zanj yo te kite yo pou retounen nan syèl, ke bèje yo te kòmanse di youn ak lòt: “Alò, annou ale toudwat Bethléhem pou wè bagay sa a ke Bondye fè nou konprann nan.”
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
16 Yo te fè vit pou rive e te twouve chemen pou rive kote Marie avèk Joseph, avèk pitit ki te kouche nan manjwa a.
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
17 Alò, lè yo te wè sa, yo te fè konnen pawòl ki te livre a yo konsènan pitit sila a.
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
18 Tout moun ki te tande sa te etone de bagay ke bèje yo t ap di yo.
And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds.
19 Men Marie te kache tout sa pou sonje l, e li te reflechi sou yo nan kè li.
But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart.
20 Bèje yo te retounen e yo t ap bay Bondye glwa avèk lwanj pou tout sa ke yo te tande e wè, jan ke li te pale a yo menm nan.
And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.
21 Lè uit jou te fin pase avan sikonsizyon Li te fèt, yo te bay Li non Jésus, menm non ki te bay pa zanj yo avan Li te plase nan vant lan.
And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.
22 Lè jou pou yo vin pirifye yo te rive selon Lalwa Moïse la, yo te mennen Li Jérusalem pou prezante Li devan Senyè a.
And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord;
23 (Jan li ekri nan Lalwa Senyè a: “Tout mal ki premye ouvri vant lan va rele sen a Bondye”),
(As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord; )
24 epi pou ofri yon sakrifis selon sa ki te pale nan Lalwa Senyè a, “yon pè toutrèl, oswa, de jenn pijon.”
And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
25 Konsa, te gen yon mesye Jérusalem ki te rele Siméon. Mesye sa a te jis e devwe. Li t ap chache konsolasyon Israël, epi Lespri Sen an te sou li.
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost was upon him.
26 Li te revele a li menm ke li pa t ap wè lanmò avan ke li te wè Kris a Senyè a.
And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.
27 Konsa, li te nan Lespri a lè l te antre nan tanp lan nan menm lè paran Jésus yo te pote pitit la, pou akonpli pou Li koutim Lalwa a.
And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of the law,
28 Epi li te ranmase li nan bwa li. Li te beni Bondye, e te di:
Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29 “Koulye a Senyè, W ap kite sèvitè Ou a pati anpè selon pawòl Ou.
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
30 Paske zye m gen tan wè delivrans Ou,
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31 ke ou prepare devan tout nasyon yo;
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
32 “yon limyè revelasyon pou payen yo, epi laglwa a pèp Ou a, Israël.”
A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel.
33 Papa L avèk manman L te etone de bagay ke yo t ap di sou Li yo.
And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.
34 Siméon te beni yo, e te di a Marie, manman Li: “Veye byen, anfan sila a fèt pou tonbe ak leve a anpil moun an Israël, e pou yon sign k ap koze opozisyon.
And Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against;
35 Yon nepe va travèse menm nanm pa ou, jiskaske panse a kè anpil moun kapab vin revele.”
(Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy own soul also, ) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
36 Anplis te gen yon pwofetès, Anne, fi a Phanuel, ki te nan tribi Aser. Li te avanse nan laj, e li te viv avèk mari li pandan sèt ane apre maryaj la,
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
37 answit, kon vèv jis rive nan laj katre-ven-kat ane. Li pa t janm kite tanp lan e te sèvi lajounen kon lannwit nan jèn ak lapriyè.
And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
38 Nan menm moman sila a, li te monte, e li te bay glwa a Bondye. Li te kontinye pale de Li a tout sila ki t ap chache redanmsyon Jérusalem nan.
And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
39 Lè yo te fin acheve tout bagay selon Lalwa Senyè a, yo te retounen Galilée, nan pwòp vil pa yo, nan Nazareth.
And when they had performed all things according to the law of the Lord, they returned into Galilee, to their own city Nazareth.
40 Pitit la te kontinye grandi, e Li t ap vin fò. Li te ogmante nan sajès, e gras Bondye te sou Li.
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
41 Alò paran Li yo te konn ale Jérusalem chak ane nan fèt Pak Jwif la.
Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.
42 Lè L te vin gen douz ane, yo te monte la selon koutim fèt la.
And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
43 Pandan yo t ap retounen, apre tout jou yo te pase, jenn gason an, Jésus te rete dèyè nan Jérusalem. Men paran Li yo pa t konnen sa.
And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
44 Yo te sipoze ke Li te pami lòt moun yo. Yo te vwayaje pandan yon jou, e yo te kòmanse ap chache Li pami manm fanmi avèk zanmi yo.
But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day’s journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
45 Lè yo pa t twouve Li, yo te retounen Jérusalem pou chache Li.
And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 Konsa apre twa jou, yo te twouve Li nan tanp lan. Li t ap chita pami mèt yo, pou tande yo, e poze yo kesyon.
And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
47 Tout sila ki te tande Li yo te etone de jan li te konprann, ak repons ke Li te bay yo.
And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
48 Lè yo te wè Li, yo te etone. Manman Li te di Li: “Pitit mwen, Poukisa Ou trete nou konsa? Gade, papa Ou ak mwen menm te enkyete, e nou t ap chache Ou.”
And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.
49 Li te di yo: “Poukisa nou t ap chache mwen? Èske nou pa t konnen ke M te oblije lakay Papa M?”
And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?
50 Men yo pa t konprann pawòl ke Li te di yo a.
And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them.
51 Konsa, Li te ale avèk yo, e te rive nan Nazareth. Li te kontinye anba otorite yo, e manman L te gade tout bagay sa yo nan kè l.
And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but his mother kept all these sayings in her heart.
52 Epi Jésus te kontinye grandi nan sajès, ak wotè, epi nan gras avèk Bondye e avèk lèzòm.
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
